I'm sorry but argumentation like this:
 "The custom color button should also not be present. If the user is
  willing to use another color then it's also important enough to add it
 to the swatch."

Just doesn't give me any insight into your thoughts and how you got to 
that conclusion.  Obviously I don't agree and you have not made any case 
on why I should change my mind.
I know a bit or two about usability and I can always explain why I think 
certain things are more correct.  You seem to reason much more on gut 
feeling. While that may have some good things, I would hope you can 
refrain from throwing away things you can't immediately see working.  I 
may actually know what I am talking about and some of those things you 
decide to throw away may just very well end up being the best thing since 
sliced bread.

So, please, just aim for a feature overloaded color selector in the first 
iteration. And let a lot of people look at it.  If you commit something 
before the end of this week I can show it to Ellen and let her give an 
expert usability advice on the ideas.

Thanks.
